Soldier X

How exactly do you rejoin a society that remains as conflicted about its wars as it is with issues of race and gender?

Soldier X follows a young African American social worker who becomes professionally compromised when she falls for a returning veteran that’s romantically entangled with his fallen friend’s Muslim sister. The play tallies the emotional scars inflicted on our young men and women returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
